    FAQ's:


    Q.What is an ECU ?
    A. The ECU is your cars computer program, which basicaly manages your engine. It takes all the information from the sensors around the car and responds to it accordingly, adjucting the fuel injected or the timing curves.

    Q. Will this fit on my particular Car model ?
    A. If your car Is equipped with fuel injection, then it will. 99% of all cars made after 1988 are equipped with fuel injection, so its bound to work.

    Q. Will my car accelerate faster after this device has been fitted?
    A. Yes, thats what its meant to do. See the chart below



    Q. Will it damage my car?
    A. No, It works with your car, and increases power in proportion to what your car is capable of. In other words it alters with your car specifications.

    Q. Is it easy to install?
    A. It should take 5 minutes to install, Instructions are included on where to fit this chip.

    Q. Will it alter Fuel consumption?
    A. Tests have shown fuel consumption has been reduced in most cases - So you get more MPG and more BHP!!

    Q. My car is a turbo, will this work?
    A. Appartently it doesnt work as well.

    In a word, no.

    it's what's known in the trade as a load of arse.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,819 ✭✭✭✭peasant


    Yes, it works !

    The 2 Euro less you're carrying in your pocket result in a significant weight saving, and as acceleration is a = m * F (- cw squared / Pi) your engine feels about 20 % more powerful ..buy two and you get 38 % (2% are lost as the speed can't rise in a true vectorial curve as friction causes more losses the faster you go)

    But ..yeah .. it works !

    :D:D:D

    A very nice bridge too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,450 ✭✭✭blastman


    Handbuilt by craftsmen. I have to sell it soon, though. I need the money for my old mother's operation, you see...


  • Registered Users Posts: 675 ✭✭✭OKenora


    Are you an eskimo ? I have some Ice you definitely need as well.....

    The blurb about the power boosting....it's as true as any other lie you ever heard. It can make a small change but usually to how often you fill your tank, any improvements in performance is usually due to the fact that you can't keep petrol in your car and save on weight, giving a boost in power.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,743 ✭✭✭bluemachaveli


    pop down to maplin, buy a couple of resistors. stick em in ur ecu then drive to mcdonalds and spend the change on the eurosaver menu :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,978 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Vain, I think you'll be needing this thread

    Maybe a mod could merge it ;)

    On a recent trip to the Ferrari F1 development factory I noticed several boxes of them! Coincidentally they were supplied by mattywall - the same seller as the OPs ebay link. Im surprised thay haven't left him any feedback!


  • Registered Users Posts: 51,238 ✭✭✭✭bazz26


    I cannot believe some people are still being fooled by this scam. :eek:


  • Registered Users Posts: 615 ✭✭✭daedalus2097


    Well, in certain circumstances it can increase power slightly. The resistors make the ECU think the engine is colder than it really is and therefore fuels it more and/or makes other adjustments akin to the old "pulling out the choke" Whether this is even noticeable, I don't know, but I'm not shelling out £2.40 and 5 minutes if my time to find out ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 94 ✭✭bjmotors


    dont risk it, it'l destroy your car. all those cheap go-fast parts are the same - rubbish.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,432 ✭✭✭Gerry


    Yeah, it may make the engine think its cold, and to chuck in more fuel. What I'm really puzzled about is how they can claim their resistor changes the ignition timing :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,683 ✭✭✭✭Owen


    I can't believe people still fall for this ...


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,248 ✭✭✭Plug


    Wow this really works:rolleyes:
